We're introducing Elasticsearch Columnar Mode: A new index mode that stores data once, in columnar form, with no redundant copies and no indexes the workload doesn't need. Not replacing the document model. Adding a second way to organise data alongside it, for the workloads where columnar is the right shape: logs, telemetry, metrics, security events, AI retrieval. One platform for search and analytics at the same level, on the same data. Tech Preview in 9.5, GA in 9.6.
